Senator Flynn can do so on the next day the Bill is debated.

As it is now past 9 p.m. the debate must be adjourned in accordance with an order of the Seanad today.

When is it proposed to sit again?

Before we proceed so, I wish to announce that arising from the election of Lynn Boylan to the European Parliament and from the taking up of her seat yesterday, 16 July 2024, a casual vacancy has occurred in the membership of Seanad Éireann on the Oireachtas subpanel of the agricultural panel. It is appropriate that the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, is here. The pigeon will be on the way to him. I again thank Lynn Boylan MEP for her commitment and service in Leinster House in the Seanad. She was a good colleague…

I welcome the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, to the Seanad. We are resuming our deliberations on amendment No. 139.

I call the Minister to discuss the subject matter of the amendments in group 1.

Before I call Senator Clonan, I welcome Deputy Cahill and his guest to the Public Gallery.

We are on grouping 1 now.

Can we address the comments through the Chair?

All right, thank you, Members. Please address your comments through the Chair and stay with the group 1 amendments.

I advise the Member to be cautious and careful in the naming of people who are not here to be able to defend themselves.

I appreciate that but it is the etiquette of the House.

I remind all Members of the House that we are to conclude this debate at 3.30 p.m. I ask Senators to keep their contributions brief so that we can let in as many people as possible.

I welcome the guests of Deputy Ivana Bacik from the National Print Museum who are in the Gallery today.

As it is now 3.30 p.m. I am required to put the following question in accordance with the Order of the Seanad of 15 July 2024. That amendment No. 1 is hereby negatived, Fourth Stage is hereby completed and the Bill is hereby received for final consideration and the Bill is hereby passed. Is that agreed? It is not agreed.

I welcome to the Public Gallery Cal Hayes, Abigaile Hayes and Isobel Parkes, who are guests of Senator Malcolm Byrne. Members of the famous Hayes family in Thurles, our guests run a number of wonderful hotels. They are very welcome to Leinster House.

Last night Senator Dooley had just concluded his contribution on section 11. Does any other Member wish to contribute on section 11? Does the Minister of State wish to reply on section 11?

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Seanadóir. The Minister of State does not want to reply.
